Resetting the component or a sheet to its default settings returns the component or the sheet to its initial state prior to any design-time or run-time changes. It clears data, resets colors, and returns cells to the default cell type. Resetting the component resets everything in the component to the state when the component is first drawn on the form.

Resetting the component or a sheet clears the data in the sheet(s) as well as the formatting. If you provide a way for users to reset their sheet(s), be sure to have them confirm the action before resetting the sheet(s).
